God

God sometimes you just don't come through God sometimes you just don't come through do you need a women to look after you God sometimes you just don't come through

You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love I gotta find what you're doing about things here a few witches burning gets a little toasty here I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case hear you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky

Bells For Her

and through the life force and there goes her friend on her Nishiki it's not out of time and through the portal they can make amends

hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends can't stop what's coming can't stop what's on its way

and through the walls they made their mudpies I've got your mind I said she said I've got your voice I said you don't need my voice girl you have your own but you never thought it was enough of so they went years and years like sisters blanket girls always there through that and this there's nothing we cannot ever fix I said

can't stop what's coming can't stop what's is on its way Bells and footfalls and soldiers and doll brothers and lovers she and I were now she seems to be sand under his shoes there's nothing I can do can't stop what's coming can't stop what is on it's way

and now I speak to you are you in there you have her face and her eyes but you are not her and we go at each other like blank ettes who can't find their thread and their bare

can't stop loving can't stop what's is on its way and I see it coming and it's on its way

Past The Mission

I don't believe I went too far I said I was willing she said she knew what my books did not I thought she knew what's up

Past the mission behind the prison tower past the mission I once knew a hot girl past the mission they're closing every hour past the mission I smell the roses

She said they all think they know him well she knew him better everyone wanted something from him I did too but I shut my mouth he just gave me a smile

Hey they found a body not sure it was his but they're using his name and she gave him shelter and somewhere I know she knows somethings only she knows

Baker Baker

Baker Baker baking a cake make me a day make me whole again and I wonder what's in a day what's in your cake this time

I guess you head he's gone to LA he says that behind my eyes I'm hiding and he tells me I pushed him away that my hearts been hard to find

here there must be something here there must be something here here

Baker Baker can you explain if truly his heart was made of icing and I wonder how mine could taste maybe we could change his mind

I know you're late for your next parade you came to make sure that I'm not running well I ran from him in all kinds of ways guess it was his turn this time

time thought I'd made friends with time thought we'd be flying maybe not this time

Baker Baker baking a cake make me a day make me whole again and I wonder if he's ok if you see him say hi

The Wrong Band

I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band Ginger is always sincere just not to one man she called me up and she said you know that I'm drowning it's the dog trainer again he says that he thinks that she needs more hands

I think it perfectly clear we're in the wrong band Senator let's be sincere as much as you can he called her up and he said the new prosecutor soon will be wanting a word so she's got a soft spot for heels and spurs and there's something believin in her voice again said there's something believin instead of just leavin

And she gets her cigars from the sweet fat man I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band Heidi says she'll be sincere as much as she can I called her up and I said you know that I'm drowning put on your raincoat again cause even the sun's got a price on it and there's something believin in her voice again said there's something believin instead of just leavin

She said it's time I open my eyes don't be afraid to open your eyes maybe she's right maybe she's right maybe she's right maybe she's right

The Waitress

So I want to kill this waitress She's worked here a year longer than I If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
